Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
With this honor devolves upon you also a corresponding responsibility. As the country herein trusts you, so under God it will sustain you.
Abraham Lincoln
I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.
Abraham Lincoln
We hope all danger may be overcome but to conclude that no danger may ever arise would itself be extremely dangerous.
Abraham Lincoln
I'm a slow walker, but I never walk back.
Abraham Lincoln
